Nicks is next, he was made a "respectable" deal and will hopefully sign it soon!

@SI_JimTrotter: saints' new pact with colston, as 1st reported by jay glazer, makes me believe they won't get a deal done with nicks. #onlysomuch$$$

If they didnt pay Colston they wouldnt have any credibility to sign anyone else. Moss took a sniff and went running. No other wr in the league is gonna sign with the sinking ship saints.

They have enough money to sign Nicks too? I hope not because of the two I didn't want Nicks to be back.

[Mr. Scot]

That's too much.

Word was that GMs were wary of Colston because they viewed him as a product of the system and thought he'd fade in a different offense. Possible he may not have received that great an offer from anyone else.

Good possibility the Saints just outbid themselves.

Saints were sitting at about 6 mil under, and now they've signed Colston to a 5 year, 19 mil contract, and Nicks wants more than 8.5 a year

Yeah, its not happening
